Welcome to Patio.
A digital-first marketing
agency with a unique blend of experience, creativity,
and heart

Our work

15 years of creativity, connection, and digital impact

We opened our doors in 2010 with a simple philosophy: marketing works best when it’s built on genuine relationships and smart strategy. Fifteen years later, that philosophy has fuelled countless successful campaigns and long-term client partnerships. We’re proud to be a Vancouver-grown agency that serves clients across Canada, the US, and beyond.

What’s behind the name “Patio”?

Think of your favourite patio gathering – relaxed, open, and full of great conversation. That’s the atmosphere we strive to create with our clients. We believe the best ideas happen in a setting where everyone feels comfortable to speak up and collaborate. So consider us an extension of your team – the approachable experts you can brainstorm with over coffee (or a cold drink), who make the process enjoyable while keeping eyes firmly on your goals.

Our Values & Vision

At Patio, our values guide everything we do

Transparency

No smoke and mirrors here. We keep our process and reporting clear, so you always know what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and how it’s performing.

Collaboration

Great marketing is a team sport. We work closely with your in-house teams and value input and ideas from all stakeholders. When we partner with you, we’re all working toward the same goal.

Innovation

The digital landscape is always evolving, and so are we. Whether it’s a new social platform or an algorithm change, we stay ahead of the curve and embrace new ideas to keep you competitive.

Integrity

We do the right thing by our clients and their audiences. Ethical advertising, honest communication, and mutual respect are non-negotiables. Trust is the foundation of our partnerships.

Results with Purpose

We measure success not just in numbers, but in the positive impact on your business. It’s not about vanity metrics – it’s about achieving meaningful outcomes (like revenue growth, community building, or brand uplift) that propel your organization forward.

Our team

Meet the talented squad, behind the creativity

We’re a tight-knit team of marketing and communications pros – from industry veterans to up-and-coming rock stars – united by a shared love for clever strategy, sharp content, and standout design. Our combined experience lets us tackle challenges from every angle.

What brings it all together? A culture of curiosity, collaboration, and fun. We’re always learning, always listening – to clients, to audiences, and to each other – because great work starts with understanding.

A few words from our clients

“Patio is an exceptional partner. Since joining forces on Destination Fraser Valley’s marketing initiatives, they have brought invaluable expertise, creativity, and strategic direction to every aspect of our work.

Our marketing efforts have never been more successful and that is a direct result of Patio’s thoughtful guidance and dedication. From the vibrant Awaken Your Senses campaign to the launch of our refreshed website and out-of-home programs, their work has meaningfully elevated our impact and reach across the region.

What truly sets Patio apart is not only their creative talent, but also their commitment to collaboration and follow-through. They consistently go above and beyond to meet deadlines, support our partners, and ensure that every project is managed with professionalism and care.

Thanks to Patio, our team is more empowered, our work is more effective, and our path forward is clearer. We are sincerely grateful for their ongoing partnership and look forward to continued success together.”
